Pillar 2 – Fighting Bullying and Promoting Diversity

Posted by

Dear all,

Last week we started with the WELLBEING: Pillar 2 – Respecting diversity and protecting against bullying.

Take away point 1 – Integration and diversity are part of the international agenda of the world’s most important institutions. 

We talk about it at a lower level, at schools, work and public places. However, that topic is at the heart of the identity of all the major international organizations and that is something that sometimes we overlook to consider diversity something to think of at an individual level. Beyond the political message on the importance of diversity, institutions like the UN have a policy of promoting diversity in their work force and enabling all types of people to access job position within their ranks and therefore setting the example on integration and teamwork.   

During our house meeting, we asked the girls to tell us what Diversity meant to them, in the context of the school and the house. They were asked to pair up with their roommate and make a video or a voice note, discussing what they learned from each other’s cultures.

Here are some examples 🙌

Thank you very much to girls for getting involved in this little project. 🤝

 

We wish you a great evening! 😊

Dear All,

First of all, we want to wish happy birthday to our Inès who turned 16 years old on Saturday! Happy Birthday Inès from everybody in the House 🎂

During the weekend the girls enjoyed spending their time cooking! They prepared a delicious cake 🥰

On Sunday, they spent the afternoon playing laser tag! Such fun 😎

And finally, tonight they are rehearsing the Christmas song and getting ready to record it tomorrow! We really like seeing them laughing and bonding all together.

And now it is time to get ready for the start of a new week.

We wish you an amazing week 😊

Dear all,

This week was very busy and energetic for our girls 😏

On Monday, we had the scariest night of the year … Halloween 😈🎃


On Wednesday, during the Boarding Assembly, one of our Prefects, Sofya Navasardyan together with the other Prefects, gave a speech about the 44th Course de L’Escalade, a joyful and popular sporting event held on the first weekend of December that gathers together an impressive number of runners!

Well done, Sofiya! 🤗🙌


On Saturday, Laura Jane went to a basketball tournament with the day students to play against Aiglon.
She really enjoyed it! 🏀


As usual, our girls took part of the weekend activities and being with friends.
Here are some pictures from them! 😊


This week, we also started our rehearsals for the Christmas Album, and it has been so good since the girls involved in this and coming up with great ideas! Very excited for Christmas! 🎅


On Sunday, our two Prefects went to an Escape Room with Mr. Usher and the rest of the Prefects
They had so much fun!! 🙋‍♀️
